World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade option allows players to boost the gear rating of an item up 700 points and also give it a bonus. Items can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you take them to the Kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading because of their distinctive stats. (For instance an excellently broken point armor that is rolled can be used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons aren't changed much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the cost.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to improve their numeric stats like crit chance, attack damage PvE and damage from PvP. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. In addition some weapons come with an added bonus that is activated when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a unit. This bonus can sometimes be greater than the damage that an upgrade alone can do.
The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the rarity of the weapon and its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while the +3 model requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to rise until it requires a higher tier of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons will also change the stats of the base. While this is usually an excellent thing, it can have some negative consequences as well. Upgrades can render items impossible to use, unless you are exceptionally lucky.
The ability to upgrade armor items to improve their effectiveness. In the case of chests or helms, this will increase its base defense while gloves and belts increase their strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes reduce its value.
The upgrade template for a weapon displays the new stats that it will get when upgraded, along with their respective values. This means that an upgrade from a sword with 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in a weapon receiving 33% attack damage. The 3% doesn't mean that the weapon will strike three times less, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon can be possible by pressing the green button within the
item upgrader menu, using the arrows that circle. This will roll the
Item upgrader kit and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level nor connect to the status of your account.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make all the difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to curses, poisons, fire, and magic. This can make it easier to traverse difficult areas. In general, the more defense you have for your character, the more health you can receive from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains available in the game and in order to unlock each fountain, you have to complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. Once you've completed the primary side quest and have completed the fountain that corresponds, you can then contact any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade each piece of armor will differ. You'll require anything between three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the initial armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. For instance the Champion Leathers could be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep up with a large group of adversaries in most cold conditions, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing the protection needed to survive an entire raid with a few friends.
You can't upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor to increase physical strength or spell power. You should also save your armor upgrades to
upgrade items the armor you'll still wear by the end of the story, for example the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear in the final boss fight the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
You can also unlock some advantages to your armor by giving the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. It is generally recommended to save these upgrades to the weapon you'll use to beat the game. For instance, the Longsword or Battleaxe. But it's useful to have some upgrades to the armor on your chest and helmets to let you get around a few monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the participant, produce an immediate effect for a short period of time. There are five types of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Upgrades to your potion require a specific amount of XP. This can be obtained by crafting them on a crafting table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades varies based on the type of potion as well as the
item level upgrade's Rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potions simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open a GUI where you can choose the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they will yield when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a time and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP count.
When a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade in the event that you make use of it again or break the bottle in the container it is stored. You can also rename the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the mechanism of potions. Splash potions for instance are now available with a time of 0:08 instead of the 22.5 seconds displayed on the
item upgrader kit hover display. The table of potion can now be constructed using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, as is the case with Java Edition. The same applies to using a potion within a cauldron that is full. This will draw out the liquid, and then refill the bottle.
Finally, there are lingering potions that are made using splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to extend their effect. The potion table is now organized more closely to the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as potion of leaping, potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket can be described as a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It may also refer to an object or decoration that serves a function but isn't particularly significant like a trinket. In some cultures a trinket can be used to express affection or friendship between family members.
In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. These can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Trinkets unlike other items which can be upgraded can be swapped at will without losing stats.
The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and the capital of each zone, as well as in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with gold, tokens, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.
The upgrade of a trinket can be an affordable alternative to buying an entirely new one. It can be done by players for less than 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl of the older one, and include an additional upgrade bonus of 1.
Once the old Trinkets are no longer usable, they can be upgraded. This allows players to increase both their power and value over time. They can be traded between players and are a viable alternative to gold.
In general players should upgrade their highest priority items first. This means that the best-in slot items for each class are upgraded first then their secondary gear and finally other equipment that they will not replace in the near future (such as an earring or a cloak). When deciding the items to upgrade, players should also take into account their class's preferred statistics. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to tank players, then they should upgrade their chest, helm and shoulders.
Trinkets can be re-upgraded to a higher ilvl once they are no longer useful and the new trinket will have an additional upgrade bonus of 1. A re-
upgrade items, however, can cause damage to the trinket unless it can be saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, but is still cheaper than buying a new one.
